Chapter 6

Charlie's POV

What the fuck was wrong with that woman? Who in their right mind would think that calling their own child a whore was funny? Esme had been out of the room for the last two minutes, and in truth I had just completely zoned out the second she did. I was too pissed at Renee, Jesus fucking Christ. I could never even begin think of something so cruel to say to my baby girl.

Emmett, Jasper, Edward and Carlisle were discussing that little punk Newton from what I could gather. Then I heard the boys mention Tanya Denali, Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory. What the fuck did those three airheads have to do with it?

"Where do those three come into this?" Carlisle asked.

Thank you Carlisle. Emmett, Edward and Jasper looked rather annoyed again.

"Those three are the ones that started all this shit. During Gym from what Alice and Rosie told us," Edward answered.

Oh hell no.

"WHAT!" Esme's voice shrieked out in fresh anger.

Esme stalked back into the room looking more pissed than she did five seconds ago. Not good. Looks like the mothers of those girls are going to get a lashing themselves. Though it remained to be seen if Esme will claw their eyes out. It is Edward that works up the courage to talk to her.

"Mom, don't worry. Something tells me that Rosalie and Alice are going to be chatting to those three tomorrow," Edward soothed.

Emmett smirked.

"Bella too I should think soon as the shock of what was said wears off and realises just how hypocritical those bitches are," Emmett added.

I couldn't help it.

"Not to mention Renee," I threw in.

Everyone looks at me wide eyed.

"What? Even after I adopted Emmett, Bells would always tell me on the phone about how Renee was leaving my daughter alone without a guardian of any kind while she fucked her way through Phoenix. If that isn't hypocritical then those three girls are virgin fucking Mary's." I snapped at them.

There was a brief stunned silence before they burst out laughing. Myself included.

"Damn Dad. That was some good insulting, and amazingly accurate. Sure we ain't blood?" Emmett asked as his laughter died down.

I just smirk at my adoptive son. Oh how I wish that he were blood.

"Back to the point, I'm sure that Rosie and Alice are more than willing to share the truth about those three now. Not that they would have had much trouble before hand," Jasper told us and he had a point.

Actually...

"What is going on between you and my daughter?" I demanded to know.

"THANK YOU!"

Emmett raised his hands to the air. OK, I swear there is something wrong with that boy sometimes. Jasper was suddenly squirming a little. There's something I never thought I'd see.

"I like her. Obviously." Jasper said rather uncomfortably.

Duh. Emmett looked suddenly more serious than I've ever seen him.

"And what exactly are your intentions towards my sister?" Emmett asked sternly.

My eyebrows furrowed together as I cocked my head to one side.

"Minus the ending of that, isn't that my line?" I asked in confusion.

Emmett simply shrugged in response. Everyone else just looked at him oddly, they had never really seen him so serious before either. Well, expect from when he was facing down a scum-bag.

"Treat her as she deserves to be treated dummy," Emmett told him, his voice still stern.

I chuckled a little when Carlisle looked to Esme.

"I thought you were going to tear into Renee?" He asked.

Esme huffed.

"Ungrateful hypocrite of a slut didn't answer," she replied with a dark scowl on her face.

I hold no sympathy for my ex-wife. Esme will rip her apart more effectively than Rosalie and Alice will those three foolish girls from the school; and those two can tear people apart effectively. I've seen it. But even if you put all those moments in the past when I have seen Esme Cullen angry together, do not even touch the top of the iceberg this time around.

"Don't worry Mama C, you'll be able to tear into her ass sooner or later. Just get some practise with those gossip bitches mothers until you do," Emmett told her.

Typical Emmett.

"Curve your language boy." Esme snapped.

Emmett automatically became a little scared.

"Yes Ma'am." He squeaked out.

It was at this moment that the girls returned, Bells coming straight to my side for and hugging me. I found myself feeling a little helpless as I wrap my arms around my daughter. Until she moved here only Emmett and I knew that there were times Bella was forced to be tougher than she was feeling, which wasn't all that often, but when someone shook her with a cheap shot, it really shook her. The only thing either myself or Emmett can do until she deals with it, is comfort her.

Don't get me wrong, as tough as my little girl is, she still looks to the two of us often for some form of guidance. It's Renee's doing really that she has had to become so tough, both Bella and Emmett have been robbed of their childhoods due to uncaring dicks, or just dick in Bella's case, so when they horse around with each. I mostly drown in the joy of witnessing their childish antics. Only when there is a chance someone will get hurt or someone in town is when I put my foot down with them. Emmett joins the hug, wonder what form of torture is running through that boy's evil little mind right now just to make sure Newton gets the message. Actually. If I know, I can't deny any prior knowledge of it.

Yes. Ignorance is bliss in this case.

"You OK there Bella-Bear?" Emmett asked her.

"I will be. Once I rip that little slut's hair out, sorry extensions," Bella replied

Rosalie and Alice smirked evilly. Looks like those two will be more effective in boosting Bells confidence up whenever someone thinks it's a good idea to take a cheap shot at her. Really should have asked her to move back home sooner.

Everyone cheered up a little at seeing Bella returning to her normal self, or rather the Cullens were following mine and Emmett's example. Esme smiled softly at the scene, and I swear I collared a tear in the corner of Carlisle's eye.

Yes. It can happen, a Mafia boss shedding a tear or two.

"Whose hungry?" Esme asked the room at large.

Emmett broke from our hug, I brought Bella to my side, whilst Emmett picks Esme up and spins her in a bear hug. Everyone can't stop laughing.

"YES! THANK YOU!" Emmett shouted

"Put my mother down you big oaf." Rosalie said through her laughter.

Cheeks developing a slight tinge of pink to them, Emmett does as Rosalie asks. Esme and Carlisle head into the kitchen. Alice, Edward, Jasper and Emmett head off to the games room. Rosalie holds her hand out for Bella.

"Come on Bells, lets watch these idiot brothers of ours duke it out on the Wii," Rosalie added

With that, Bella kissed my cheek before taking Rosalie's hand. The two girls chatted away as if they'd known each other for years as they followed their siblings footsteps.

Despite the smile on my face at the sight of my daughter smiling again. I couldn't stop my blood boiling at the unjust cruelty to her, Renee was getting off fucking easy by getting her ass handed to her by Esme. The Newton punk however, the second he balls up legally he's mine for the taking and he'll be finding himself screaming like a bitch on helium for disrespecting my daughter.

A/N: Hope you all enjoyed Charlie's point of view. More to come soon enough.
